- A Spooky Conversation with The Cello DollJoining me today is Carolyn Regula, aka The Cell Doll! I saw Carolyn talking on her YouTube channel talking about building a booth for home recording, and I knew that we should have a conversation about that! We talk all about her career as a cellist, our favorite metal bands, and about her journey to becoming a home recording artist. I guarantee you will learn interesting things about recording, and have a ball laughing along with us.

1 hr 45 min - Pete Mitchell on His Solo MaterialPete came back! This time, we talk about Pete's solo career, but we do talk a little about No More Kings. Pete has released 4 albums and half a dozen singles spanning the last 9 years. We go into his process for production, how his solo stuff alters from No More Kings, and a few nerdy tangents. Oh, and if you listened to the last episode with Pete, you might remember that I tried to set up and interview a Robo Petey, but it didn't work out very well. So for this episode, I interviewed Pete inside a soundproof room inside of a Faraday cage. I am certain that Robo Petey will not find out about it.

Cole tells me all about the recording and engineering on the album, from guitar cab sims and drum samples, to the surprisingly complicated layers of the vibraslap sound in the middle of Earwyrm.

53 min - Russ Castillo: A Life of Music (Pink Floyd, Producer's Workshop)You folks are in for a treat today! Russ Castillo is a record producer, audio engineer, and former audio professor, as well as my friend for the better part of 10 years. We met when he was invited to be a guest speaker at one of my audio classes in college. It was immediately clear that he'd had a long and storied career in audio in Los Angeles. He worked for Producer's Workshop, which saw many huge bands walk through the door. Russ was close with Pink Floyd during their time making The Wall, and has since worked with other major acts including The Doors, Liberace, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Russ lived in Muncie for a few years, just around the corner from my buddy Steve Robert (see episode 5 for more about Steve), and I got to see him in action once and soaked up as much as I could. Russ is so full of stories, we could probably do several 2 hour episodes, but we'll just start with this one! Thanks again to Russ for taking the time to be on my show, it really means the world to me!

2 hr 18 min - Ep. 33 - Solo'd November Rain
HEY, LISTEN: I never actually thought to record this information, so it might be important for you to know that during this episode, all comparison segments are the 1991 version, followed by the 2022 version. So the first section you hear is the old, then the new. Thanks!
For years I have had a little tradition in November. Whenever it rains, I listen to November Rain. Some years I only listen once or twice, but some years I've clocked over 10 plays. I started the tradition because growing up, Guns N' Roses was one of my favorite bands, and this was kind of a way for me to stay connected to them, even as I got older. So imagine how excited I was to find out that Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree (one of my favorite bands) was doing a remix and remaster of November Rain, now with a live 50 piece orchestra! Buuuut, only for me to miss that boat by a month or two. And given that I was pretty busy last November (probably) I didn't get around to comparing the two for the podcast until now! Better late than never, I guess! So join me in a little bit about why I love GN'R so much, and how this new 2022 version of the track shakes things up.
